Alauddin rejected the advice, arguing that if he showed weakness, the general public and the warriors will lose respect for him.

Alauddin's attendants at this time would be unarmed, so the Mongols thought that a contingent of 200-300 Mongol horsemen could easily overpower them. The conspirators planned to set up a government after killing Alauddin. [2]
